Hi everyone, after much research, my wife and I bought a 2007 Ford Focus SES last week. I love it so far except for the fact that the check engine light has gone on twice, so I'm taking it back to the dealer's mechanic on Sunday. Oh, and the AC makes a weird noise when I brake.

This is my first car ever, so I'm very happy. It's got a leather interior and a sunroof. It has a bit shy of 130,000 km. I paid $4,500 for it. If these two (seemingly) small issues are corrected, I'll be one ecstatic owner.

On to my question: does anyone know of a good place to get a hardcopy of the owner manual? It's over 200 pages, so I don't want to print it and shove it in the glove compartment. Helminc.com has it for sale, but the total including shipping is over $45. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

For a car like that you might try wandering through a upick auto wreckers, or even check eBay. Congrats on the buy welcome!

welcome to the boards! like mentioned above you can go to a junk yard and start looking in glove boxes. 05-07 are the same

Try Thorold Auto Parts and Recyclers (1-905-227-4118), he has a 2005 Manual for $20. I found it using [ http://www.car-part.com/ ]. If you have a Kobo or any tablet, even a smartphone, you can download the manual as PDF for free from [ http://www.fleet.ford.com/partsandservic...r-manuals/ ].
